Sadly, many of us are so used to seeing marriages fail when it comes to two famous actors, yet Rita and Tom continue to push the boundaries, being accounted as one of Hollywood’s most successful love stories.

So let's cut to what EVERYONE wants to know ... what’s their secret to a blissful, happy marriage?

Well, according to Tom, the pair actually LIKES each other. (Imagine that.)

The two tied the knot in 1988 and have two sons together, and Tom has two other sons from his previous marriage to Samantha Lewes — one of whom is the actor Colin Hanks — and even still, the couple keeps on chugging. Nothing could be more admirable.

So if you care to know the secrets of what really makes love last for almost 30 years, look no further than to Hanks himself and some of his best advice:
